Torah portion

You can learn history, but how does one acquire memory?

Every step of the Israelites' journey is framed in relation with God.

Lessons from the biblical cities of refuge.

As Jews, we must express our religious imperative to ensure equal access to land.

Not everyone is happy with Pinchas' action and its reward.

Pinchas saw the relationship of an Israelite and a Midianite as a curse--but perhaps he, like Balaam, could have turned it into a blessing.

Moses' frustration and fatigue were no excuse for his refusal to accept the people's cry for help.

Are we more worried about our own egos than about the Jewish people as a whole?

The Torah articulates norms about legitimate dissent and authority's reasonable response to it.

The sound of the shofar can mobilize us and help us consider the path ahead.
